DESCRIPTION

A white wine grape which is extremely rare, nas-cetta is indigenous to the municipality of Novello.Its revival began in the 1990s after decades of abandon and neglect and is now taking its place among the really good wines.
Being recognized as a distinct, historic subzone since 2010, Langhe Nas-cetta del Comune di Novello must abide by specific regulations which determine, among other things, that grapes must come from that area only.
Harvest period for this grape variety, which is single-Guyot pruned, generally is end of September.
The making of Langhe Nas-cetta del Comune di Novello involves 3-day maceration and fermentation of the grapes in steel tanks, followed by ageing in steel tanks for 6 months and in bottle for 3 months.

THE MANUFACTURER

Making the most of the expertise of their ancestors, Paolo and his father Roberto carry on all vineyard work passionately. Their farm is located in the Ciocchini area in the municipality of Novello, which is exactly where rare “nas-cetta” vines were recovered in the ‘90s after they had been long forgotten during the 20th century.

The soil is mainly composed of clay here, facing to south-west, and allow for producing about 25,000 to 28,000 bottles a year – among which 3,500 bottles of Langhe Nas-cetta del Comune di Novello – the result of pesticide-free farming.

Both the winemaking activity and family life happens in the typical farmhouse where generations of Stras were born. It features some guestrooms too, and vegetables grown by the family within their garden are at disposal for the guests to pick freely.
